The price-quality ratio is excellent, even though Odoo has become very competitive. The time to implementation is also great, if not one of the best. Excellent billing and service desk apps It is not the best solution if you are looking into a collaboration-focused software suite.
Read full review Pros Visual routing ensures the production line layout is as appropriate as shown on the application. Production house needs a lot of data to do an in-process inspection of the product. ERP might not need that. SAP ME provides that place to do every data collection. Nonconformance functionality ensures when needed the product goes to the appropriate station to get repaired. Also, data collection can raise NC and can move the product to a particular station to get an issue corrected. All the information is well integrated with SAP ERP and makes SAP ME more valuable for the organization. SAP MII also comes along with SAP ME helps to get the application well integrated with the shop floor equipment. Read full review CRM integrates nicely using our Zapier environment.

If the User interface was more consistent we would be able to pick up and train on new apps more efficiently
Read full review Support Rating Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.
Read full review Alternatives Considered There was no product evaluated before using SAP ME. This replaced the custom homegrown MES system. The custom MES system had a lot of issues with the integration with SAP ERP. While evaluating the situation, SAP MII was the initial tool used to create the integration of the custom MES. We later found the fully functional tool SAP ME off the shelf had several functionalities out of the box.

Odoo . At that time, the enterprise version of
Odoo was not competitive enough for a small company with minor integration needs when it comes to the pricing per user. Nowadays, pricing is almost equal. The effort of integration processes with
Odoo is still higher even though it delivers more potential. A decision between both today would be more difficult for us.
